  • Canning Green Beans using the Raw pack method in our All American pressure canner. Starting from scratch in pressure canning and want to know the basics? Here is a video of me teaching a fellow homesteader how to pressure can green beans, and remove all the scary out of the process ♥
    All American 930: amzn.to/3ltL6nc
    Masontops Kit: amzn.to/3A7RKDK
    wash beans in vinegar rinse thoroughly
    snap end off and snap to desired length
    pack jars firmly with green beans to 1 inch head space
    fill jars with hit water
    put lids on finger tight
    place in canner and seal canner lid
    let canner vent steam for 10 mins
    apply weight gauge
    process jars for your recommended pressure (for our elevation it's 10lbs) for 25 mins
    turn off heat and let pressure release naturally
    remove weight gauge, once pressure is to 0lbs allow any remaining steam to escape
    unscrew latches from lid, but do not remove
    wait 10 mins
    remove jars and place onto towel to cool for 12-24 hours before removing rings and storing

    Thanks for this video. I fill my jars half way, jiggle/shake/poke the contents down, add the first half of the liquid, and de-bubble. Then I repeat that process to finish filling the jar. I get more in the bottom of the jar that way with less wasted space. I find it quicker and less messy to pour my liquid out of a teapot or pitcher rather than repeatedly ladle from a pot.

    My husband and I watched this video on Friday night and went out to the Amish farm stand on Saturday. We purchased a huge amount of beans (or so I thought). Sunday I put up 7 quarts just like how you did in your video. Something I haven't done in 25 years when my girls were little. I followed your instructions and they came out beautiful. Thank you for for the basic teaching method that helped me gain confidence. Not only did this huge bag give me 7 quarts, I have 5 1lb bags in the freezer and we just had some for snacking. Ideally we would have grown our food but being a manager of a manufactured home community we don't own our land. Hubby said last night, he wanted to go out get 40lbs of tomatoes and more beans to put up this weekend!!! Rachel, thank you again for showing us that you can still preserve even if you work full-time and may not have garden space!!!!

Thank you for getting to the point. I plant tinderets, fill the jar, teaspoon of salt, water to the neck, finger tight lids and pressure cook at 10#s for 90 minute’s.

    You have no idea how much I needed a video like this. I have been so nervous about canning. All things your friend said I have felt that same things this year. I have told my husband several times that I just wish someone would come alongside me and tell me what to do and do it with me. Thank you Rachael. This video has helped some of my fears.

    I have been canning most of my adult life, so being that I just turned 67 years old...OMGosh that's about 50 years 😲 My favorite vegetable is green beans - so I try to get as many canned as I can. Depending on how my harvest turns out. It's so satisfying to know that I grew them and can put them up for the year. I grew up using a pressure canner even for cooking dinner. Fast & easy way to make a pot of mashed potatoes for a big family!
    Only mishap I ever had was taking the lid off of my pressure canner too soon when canning tuna, and it syphoned out and I got 3rd degree burns around my waist where the boiling hot water soaked into my jeans. I never moved so fast in my life! Straight to the shower, stripped and turned on the COLD water!!! OUCH 🙄 - I never did that again...

    I was able to pressure can 16 pints of corn yesterday and three quarts today. My wife and daughters are snapping green beans now. So I know what I am doing tomorrow. Plus I have to finish building shelves in my pantry tomorrow so I can store my jars. This is my first year canning so I appreciate your videos they are helpful.

    I love your measurement of the vinegar in the water! Made me chuckle! Little tip if you have hard well water....add about a 1/4 cup of white vinegar into the water in the canner to prevent that white film from hard water. Love the channel! I am not sure you expressed that the pressure needs to reach 10 pounds before the timer starts. I have been teaching canning classes and have found that I also have not expressed how important it is to wait until it comes to the desired pressure before starting your time.

    My First canning of green beans siphoned and didn’t go so well. Doing my second batch tomorrow, and watching this showed where I believe I went wrong 😑 - the NCFHFP said process for 50 minutes….doing your 25 minutes next - so crossing my fingers and saying prayers that this batch is successful!! THANK YOU!

      @smas3256 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah. We extended our garden with store bought organic potatoes in food grade 5 gallon buckets. I have extra for later planting after the harvest is done. All winter I bought organic scallions and cut 2 inches at root end, rehydrated in water. Changed the water every two day. I clipped all winter to eat. Spring time I planted all around the garden edge to keep bunnies out. It works. I cut outer leaves of swiss chard and they produce until freeze.

Watching again, I've picked up some of the things Stacy said, like "Welcome to the jungle." Lol I can really relate this year! Thanks for the confidence boost with this video!

I'd love to can with him and this very timely video helped me decide to bite the bullet and purchase one. Thank you!

    Thank you for this beginner guide! I have my first pressure canner on the way and I will admit, I am a little anxious! I think having Instant Pots become such a popular appliance this past few years is probably helping a lot of people become more comfortable with the thought of using a pressure canner. The concept isn’t so foreign!

  • @hollyrichardson6255
    @hollyrichardson6255 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've Bern canning all my life , and fed my family well. My veggie soup is locally known by many. I love that your trying to get the younger set more interested. You are so right, It is not a scary thing. Side note, love your "pickle pusher' bit I learned old school. "Pack em, til they push back' they'll likely never be to tight. And your head space. Grandma always said, "Fill the jar to its shoulders" The pressure part does need minding, and as stated, finding the right time to set your timer, is the hardest part, depending on the age, and design of your canner. Definitely easy to over do, or under do, which is why "watching you pot" is imperitive. Now days much easier with gages. But I learned on pots without them, and you learned to trust your ears. Anyway thanks again for teaching to a new generation. This is a lifestyle, that people should get reacquainted with.

    I love that you did this video! It is the perfect video for new canners or anyone that has been fearful or unsure. There are many great videos out there, but there are many times that questions a beginner might have get overlooked or not thought about. This is the first video I’ve come across that has a seasoned canner and a new canner working together. Such a great idea! It was great being able to see both perspectives and be able to see you walk her through her questions or fears and give suggestions for troubleshooting. I have had a canner for over a year and have yet to can anything because I was unsure about certain things. This video gave me the answers I’ve been needing and I now feel confident that I can start canning. 😁
    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ❤️

    Thank you so much! Seeing where exactly to apply the lubricant, the finger measurement for the lid contact space, and that there is still potentially pressure even with the gauge at zero. Plus what to do about it. Extremely helpful. Everything else might be an electric stove 'learning experience' for keeping accurate pressure during.

    I hope you read this. Do you remember how many green bean plants it to to fill the jars?
    If need be our sons can easily extend our garden. BTW we freeze extra chard. We cut outer leaves and the plants produce more crops all summer until a freeze. You are an excellent teacher. Oh and I loved seeing you sit on the ground in shorts when you were pooped in another video. I'm binge watching you.

    This was a great video. I helped my parents can when I was growing up. Been doing some here and there but really gotten into it more last year. With my two young kids I wanted them to see the importance of being prepared and how empowering it is to know you can take care of ourself a bit. I love more of the basics video and also just how to plan out what to can each year better. Right now I feel like it a guessing game mostly going off what I know we eat.

I couldn't see when I had the steady stream of steam so eventually I thought of using a stainless steel pot lid. I just hold it over the vent and can easily tell if its steaming . Love your videos. One problem, now my mind is always on the next thing to can. Lol

    Hi all
    I just purchased a Presto 23 quart and it also can be double stacked for a total of 16 quart jars ( it only comes with one rack so I did have to purchase extra ). I'm a beginner and look forward to start canning meats. Blessings

    I pressure canned for the first time today! I did dried beans, and I did soak them overnight. I think it went well! They all pinged. I had one jar siphon a bit (maybe didn't debubble enough!?). I have enjoyed all your canning videos- thanks for taking us with you!

    You can use cabbage leaves and a small chunk of core from the cabbage and it will make your pickles crunchy. Also, be sure to trim BOTH ends of the cuke, especially the flower end..

    I enjoyed the refresher class. I wanted to say that I think Stacey was a little shy with the debubbler. I thought we were supposed to slide the debubbler all the way down against the side of the jar, to the bottom of the jar, then press inward toward the center of the jar. I suspect I may be a "helicopter canner".

    SO love your videos! My (Ukrainian) wife was so scared she ran into the bedroom as the Presto came up to pressure. Her babushka didn't have the safety features we have today. I use a 10PSI wobbler, btw.
    I'm 65 and remember my mom canning all our garden produce back in the 60s & 70s. So great to see someone new getting into it. I saw your video about buying #10 cans of stuff to can. What do you think about buying bulk frozen veggies to can. Just thaw em first, of course. I've dehydrated a bunch that way too.

  • @gramalaney

    grape leaves, horseradish leaves, tea bags, bay leaves, all help keep pickles crisp from my experience .. last year I put a bay leaf in each jar and they were sooo crisp and good .. my 5 yr old granddaughter only likes Grama Laney's juicy pickles won't even try jar pickles! So adorable! beautiful harvest .. we are encased in smoke here in the mountains in BC .. it's really nasty and hot ... still pushing through with getting what I can .. if we had experienced a natural summer here I would be overflowing with produce .. not so much this year! Next year will giver a go again ....

    I was snapping my Royal Burgundy beans while watching your vid! I blanch and freeze but that’s only because hubby does not care for canned beans as much as I do. Then I spiralized 6 zucchini and threw those in the freezer too ( just another way to preserve zucs). I use as a pasta replacement all the time.

    My first attempt at canning green beans was not good...there were about 10 green beans floating in the jars...lol....and as soon as I opened them...whew! Bad bad smell....every jar was bad...I did not know I could not waterbath....I learned very quickly a pressure canner is a must for many items

  • @rwjingo4955
    @rwjingo4955 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One thing to remember when using a gasketed canner (even just a pressure pan when cooking) is to make sure the gasket is laying flat in its place. Sometimes, they'll curl just a hair in a spot, not even too noticeable, but it's enough to create faulty pressure. It doesn't necessarily mean the gasket is faulty, just needs a tweak

    • @rwjingo4955
      @rwjingo4955 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sometimes, just flipping them over and reseating is enough

    Hi Rachel - Thank you (and Todd) for all that you teach me! I enjoy your calm manner and conversational way of teaching.
    Questions:
    1)What is the smallest number / size load I can process in my pressure canner? Ball says: 2 Quarts or 4 pints or 8 half pints. What is your personal experience? I do not have 14 pounds of beans, but I have enough to can 3 pints. I was super excited to can my tiny harvest, just to gain experience - but my excitement was dashed by the load requirement.
    2) Also, do I have to 'waste' lids on jars of water added to the pressure canner, to take up space if I don't have a full load? Can I just set the 2 Quarts / 4 Pint jars of product in the canner and not worry that the canner isn't full of jars?
    THANKS!

  • @traceydysert6096

    Absolutely love your videos! One thing I grow is Kentucky Pole Beans in my garden because they are a space saver. Gardening and canning is a TON of work but it's very rewarding when it's done correctly. I have been canning on my own for over 8 years but learned from my grandmother, Aunt and my mom. They canned a lot! I'm scared to do meats. You have any videos on that?
    I see you use a laddle you water into the jars. Have you ever thought of using a measuring cup to make your life easier?
    I use a glass 2c measuring cup to pour hot liquids into my jars. It's faster and less messy. Most of the time you don't need a funnel either. When I am not using the measuring cup, I keep it inside of my pot with the handle hanging to the outside of the pot, so, it doesn't get anything on it accidentally & it's not
    in the way. I have a very tiny kitchen and very little space to work. Love your big kitchen! How long have you been canning and where did you learn how to do it?
    Thanx again for a great teaching video!

    • @1870s

      We do have several videos on canning meat in our preserving the harvest playlist. I'm self taught, didn't grow up around it. And many people share the tip about pouring liquid but I guess I never think of it come time to can. Old habits die hard

  • @krussell9995
    @krussell9995 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I believe the head space is so that food won't float up and interfere with your lid seal. It's also the reason why you let the canner depressurize and then let the jars sit in the canner, cooling very slowly so the liquid won't siphon out, taking any food particles with it and messing with your seal. Also, a splash of vinegar in your canner water will prevent any cloudiness on your jars. That goes for water bath and pressure canning 🙂 Great tutorial, and great info as far as planning how much food you need to preserve for a year!

  • @joanfels6641

    My mother was a victim of a pressure canner blow up. Fortunately, the stove had a double oven so the lid hit the upper oven. She was burned some and cut but nothing serious. She thought she had not gotten the lid on properly.
